I shoot game at extreme range simply because I got bored shooting them close, there is nothing IMO like the feeling you get during that 1+ second when your watching through the scope to see whether you hit where you calculated the bullet to go.
fritz, call me an idiot if you wish, makes no difference to me, I know what I can do and stay within those parameters, if the thrill is getting close for some, go for it, I just march to the beat of a different drum. the main thing we strive for is to legaly enjoy the sport of hunting, and thats what I do.
